One Word One Day [UPDATED: 07/03/12]

The Australian Society of Authors (ASA) has arranged
an event that will gather the Australian arts community in order to raise funds
for the Indigenous Literacy Foundation. One word will be chosen and the
participating artists (including comics creators) will be asked to create art
inspired by that word. The event is set to kick off in Melbourne on 14 March
2012 and will also be held in other States.

The ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) has come
on board as our media partner and will be offering a work space and its foyers
to exhibit the art. The objective is to promises to be a fun event with
coverage for illustrators. Artwork will be featured on the ASA, ABC, ILF and Micador
websites with a profile page on the Micador auction page.
